WAIVER  While every effort is made by Yorkshire CCC Southern Group to ensure the  accuracy and impartiality of articles in

this publication, it should be appreciated  that they may be based on, or contain, information provided by Third Party  sources which the Editor and YCCCSG have no control, and which may sometimes be out of date.

Editorial

We have entered 2020. As the editor of this newsletter I shall be glad when it is over, and its ambiguity ended. I am training myself to refer to the Tee 20, or even, through clenched teeth, ‘the Blast’ to avoid confusion. Will this year’s competition be referred to as the 2020 20/20? Or 20 20 squared perhaps? In any case its profile is likely to be reduced; the ECB’s attention is elsewhere now.

As far as most members’ main concern, the , is concerned, there are changes in scheduling to be faced. So we have no repeat trip to Canterbury this year, as Kent are one of those counties against whom we have just one fixture. On the other hand, it will be nice to be part of the Cheltenham Cricket Festival again (see ‘Events’ in this context). Alongside these matches sit the unpredictable remains of the fifty over competition. It has now been described as a ‘development competition’ by some in power. It is to be hoped that that isn’t in fact merely code for ‘of no importance’. To look on the bright side, it may at least allow supporters to see more of some fresh faces, and to enjoy out-ground venues, both home and away. If this the long term future of this competition, then there is surely an opportunity here to look at some method of involving the minor counties, as used to be the case in the old Gillette Cup.

The winter’s cricket has had a mixed impact. It’s a strange business observing events as a Yorkshire supporter (or a supporter of any other county I suppose, but feelings don’t really as deep elsewhere). If Jonny Bairstow isn’t one of the best three or four English qualified batsmen, I’ve not been paying sufficient attention over the last few years. Of course we all want him to have a successful test career. Yet the impact of the torrent of international matches in recent years has been to leave county supporters with a sense of resentment; I won’t be the only Yorkshire member feeling a touch of “Well, if they’re stupid enough to leave him out, it’s an ill wind…” Whatever follows, we wish him all the best for 2020.

Jonny’s mixed year however surely reflects an ongoing issue regarding the balance between the skills required for limited over cricket, in which a very high scoring rate is now necessary, and those of first class, particularly . He has clearly established himself as a fixture at the top of ’s ‘white ball’ order, and a desirable signing for the short form of the game across the globe. Yet there is a danger that the approach required for this has diminished his capacity to build test . He is not, I think, alone in this. For some followers of the game, the difference of approach is still not appreciated. After only six overs of the first in South Africa, cricinfo received its first email saying that Jason Roy should be in the test side. It was a pleasure to see England win the test series in South Africa. The significance of that achievement will become clearer once the side faces tougher

3 opposition. Nevertheless there was considerable relief in seeing a top order that was prepared to graft to establish an early advantage on which the middle order stroke makers could build later.

By the time of the next newsletter the new season will be upon us. I hope it is a successful one, and above all an enjoyable one for all members. May I finish by recommending to you the package of events put together by June Hirst and outlined on page 8.

5 The 2019 Annual Lunch Anthony Bradbury

On 19th October, two days before Trafalgar Day to remind us of a past decisive battle with the French, London staged a huge demonstration within the Brexit Battle in competition with the Southern Group Lunch. Both events were held within the environs of Whitehall. Those who succeeded in reaching the Civil Service Club, in Great Scotland Yard, found within an atmosphere of goodwill towards all men, and gladly towards Yorkshire County Cricket Club.

A good attendance joined our Chairman Ned Holt in welcoming our supportive friend , President of the County Club, and another fine friend, Martyn Moxon the Yorkshire Director of Cricket, who was accompanied by his wife Sue.

The Civil Service Club provided a hugely ample lunch based around roast lamb and many a vegetable, followed by toffee, walnut and rum pudding. All this was served by the Club staff with great efficiency, within the arrangements so carefully prepared by our own June Hirst.

Martyn had the task of showing optimism about the next Yorkshire season against a background of the 2019 summer which he had recently described in the Southern Group Newsletter as at times “very disappointing and frustrating”. He emphasised that the make up of the First XI team was still in a state of flux, rather like the Yorkshire side which eventually evolved into the champions of 2014 and 2015. He did accept that the current line up was fragile and some players did not yet know their own best game (which included an ability to play themselves in) and that these players though capable still needed more time to develop. To support such players he hoped to bring in to the side a batsman or batsmen of experienced quality. He declined to be drawn on whether Malan, currently of Middlesex, was a target signing.

The other main issue upon which he spoke was the conflict for batsmen between first- class cricket and the short form matches. Batting in T20 matches against white balls was usually much easier than the longer game where the ball might be swinging in and out for material periods. The players did need to learn how to adapt to these different formats, yet it was not feasible to try and restrict some players to red ball matches. He cited and Tom Kohler-Cadmore as batsmen who would be playing short form cricket in Bangladesh and Australia in the coming winter and who would earn significantly more for a few weeks of that cricket than in a full season for Yorkshire.

Martyn said that the Yorkshire Club had a big challenge to resolve in the spin department for in addition to spin bowling skills the Club needed to find spinners who

6 could bat further up the order than at no.8 downwards. Maharaj had been of benefit to the Club for his ability to bat in about the no.7 position.

He gave some support for the new 100 ball competition mainly because it was to be shown on Free to Air TV and that could generate much needed interest from school children who might in time provide a wider base for future players than now exists.

Martyn’s talk was thoughtful and welcome. He was not yet promising gold at the end of a tunnel, but he indicated the direction that he was trying to develop to bring the County Club back into successful days.

John Kirkland gave an amusing and cheerful Vote of Thanks. He mentioned the example of Martyn Moxon making his own maiden century in his debut match in 5½ hours, and echoed the thoughts of his audience that our speaker with June Hirst and the Civil Service Club had provided us all with another happy lunch.

N.B LONDON KING’S CROSS STATION CLOSURE Major engineering work is taking place this year as a part of the £1.2 billion East Coast Upgrade by National Rail. This work has already

started and will continue over weekends throughout 2020. It can only be carried out safely when there are no trains running and the station will therefore be closed on many weekends during the year.

If you are intending to travel to matches from this or any other station on the East Coast line during the next few months, please check the King’s Cross website or contact National Rail enquiries for up-to-date information. We have taken this into account when choosing dates for our visits to Headingley and Scarborough.

Last issue contained Martin Fisher’s article about Sheriff Hutton Bridge’s wonderful 2019 season. Their achievements have also inspired our own Paul Graham to leap to the keyboard.

SHERIFF HUTTON BRIDGE – MY PART IN THEIR TRIUMPH Paul Graham The gloomy end to the county’s season – two thrashings and a game that slowly drowned (in early Autumn – who would have thought it?) was tempered for me by good news on the domestic cricket front. Sheriff Hutton Bridge from north Yorkshire not only won the Hunters ECB Yorkshire Premier League North, but also went on to win the Yorkshire Premier League championship by beating Woodlands of Bradford by just two runs in the final at Headingley. I have been basking in reflected glory following this triumph as I played for the Bridge in the mid 1970’s until I left for London in the early eighties. My first season playing at Moor Farm, situated between Strensall and Sheriff Hutton, was inauspicious – we were relegated from the first division of the York and District

10 league. Two stalwarts of the team, Brian Shirley and Des Wyrill, had left at the end of the previous season to play higher grade cricket for York, and were badly missed. My arrival was no compensation. During my first division status was never reclaimed, though we had some success in the evening cup competitions when Brian and Des were able to turn out for us. The club had its origins in the 1940s when a dispute amongst players of Sheriff Hutton led some of them to ask a local farmer if they could play the game on his land. That farmer, Jim Rhodes, though in his late seventies when I knew him, still attended every game that we played – supporting the team through thin and thinner. We had some super players who could have moved to a more successful club but stuck with the Bridge. Two of them I know still play prominent roles at the club – Mick Oldfield who is now Chairman and groundsman, and Colin Mole who is Vice-Chairman. The loyalty of former players to a club long after their playing days are over is a sure sign that the club is special. In 2005 the club won the national village championship at Lords, a tremendous feat, but the success of the current team, with the likes of Karl Carver, Matthew Fisher and Ed Barnes in the ranks, is remarkable to someone who knew the club in less glorious times. I do like to think though that my succession of single figure scores more than three decades ago helped lay the foundation for the glory days that this great club are now experiencing.

11 My First Book on Yorkshire Cricket Martin Howe At question time at the Southern Group’s Annual Lunch on 19 October Martyn Moxon was asked if he could recommend a book on cricket for a youngster beginning to show an interest in the game. Martyn was nonplussed but acknowledged that instructional books dealing with the technicalities of the game were not fit for that purpose. The exchange prompted the thought: what was the first book on Yorkshire cricket that I owned. It was Cricket is my Life by , now just one among a large number of books on White Rose cricket in my study. As a youngster growing up in the 1940s, Len Hutton was my hero. I first saw him in 1947 at at the Roses match and then followed his career closely through newspaper reports and articles. The dust jacket of the book has a photograph of Hutton walking out to bat at Lord’s in 1948, resplendent in Yorkshire and sweater, determination and anticipation obvious in the set of his face. If ever a man demonstrated the truth of the Martyn Moxon message at the lunch that to do well young players have to learn how to play the longer form of the game and how to build an innings it was Hutton. Concentration, mental application and judicious shot selection are necessary attributes. Hutton had them in abundance. Written in an easy conversational style, the book is a chronological, almost innings by innings, account of Hutton’s life in cricket up to 1949. It eschews any controversy, has no harsh words on any of the many cricketers Hutton refers to in the book and has nothing to say on any of the issues of the day, whether of cricket such as intimidatory or slow scoring, or of the wider world such as the mass unemployment experienced in the West Riding in the 1930s. Early chapters describe the development of Hutton’s career as a schoolboy playing for his village team in Fulneck near Pudsey, then, aged just 13 years, for Pudsey St Lawrence in the keenly competitive Bradford League, to be mentored by , and finally, after coaching from and a couple of seasons in the Colts, to the Yorkshire first eleven at the start of the 1934 season, aged just 18. These chapters provide a road map, so to speak, of how Hutton came to learn how to play “proper cricket”. There would have been no place for the innovations of today’s short-form formats such as reverse sweeps, scoops and uppercuts. What a contrast his was to the apprenticeship via the Academy of Moxon’s young players. Cricket is my Life was published in June 1949 but the signs are that the book was completed the previous year and perhaps in a hurry. Extraordinarily, there is but one page at the end of the book on series of 1948. This gives the results of the first two Tests, refers to the omission of Hutton from the Third Test, which he puts down disingenuously to “concern for my health”, gives just five lines of text to

12 the calamitous Fourth Test when Australia made 404 to win in only five and three quarter hours on the final day on a pitch taking spin (and Hutton four overs of leg spin costing 30 runs), and another five to the innings defeat in the Fifth Test when Hutton’s 30 out of England’s first innings of 52 is mentioned but, remarkably, not Bradman’s dramatic last Test appearance. Hutton was 33 years old in 1949. He was to have seven more years of first-class cricket after 1948. These provided perhaps his greatest achievements, the first professional to England in modern times, the recovery of the Ashes in 1953 and their retention in Australia in 1954/55. But the publishers of Cricket is my Life could feel that there was already enough interest in the Hutton story to justify publication of an autobiography at what was to be the half-way stage of his cricket career (a later volume, Just my Story, would update this Life). And nowadays it is commonplace for cricketers to publish (ghosted) autobiographies after just a few seasons in the game. If premature autobiographies can be explained by the cult of celebrity then one innings, his 364 at in the timeless Test of 1938, was overnight to make young Hutton a celebrity, 1930s style. He was now the focus of international media interest and idolised by Yorkshire supporters. A chapter of Cricket is my Life is devoted to this record breaking innings. It charts the mental and physical demands of an innings lasting 13 hours and 20 minutes (Hutton had suffered a broken finger in Yorkshire’s match against Middlesex at Lord’s earlier in the season and had missed the Fourth Test at Headingley) and the increasing tension among spectators and in the dressing room as Hutton edged towards the previous record, ’s 334 at Headingley in 1930, an innings Hutton had himself witnessed as a schoolboy. While not a boastful man Hutton describes at some length the many congratulations and tributes he received after his record-breaking score. He does not say so in this book but the record was to prove something of a burden on Hutton, as afterwards it was always expected when he went to the crease (including by myself) that a big score was in the offing. It is worth adding that the similarly youthful Don Bradman had compiled his 334 runs in 1930 in six hours and 26 minutes, half the time of Hutton’s innings. And it is ironic that in his account of the timeless Test in South Africa in the 1938/39 series Hutton commented: “that everybody should have voted against any more play -to- finish Tests after that experience was inevitable”. Hutton had made his England debut in 1937 against New Zealand when he made a in his first innings, as he had in his first innings for Yorkshire against Cambridge University in May 1934 (and indeed in his first innings for Yorkshire Colts). Hutton

13 acknowledged that his progress during the intervening seasons owed much to the fact that he shared partnerships with such experienced players as Herbert Sutcliffe, Arthur Mitchell, and Maurice Leyland. These teammates, and others such as and , were always ready with observations and advice. And Hutton, a keen student of the game, was always ready to listen and to learn. He tells us in the book of a one-to-one conversation he had with whose advice to Hutton ended with the maxim: “we don’t expect fireworks from our opening batsmen”, advice Hutton was to follow to the letter. To Hutton, 1937 was the first of his golden years. It was in this season, he says, “in which freedom from anxiety had allowed me to feel a conscious mastery”. He scored 2,888 runs in 1937 at 56.62. Remarkably, 12 batsmen scored 2,000 runs or more that season with Hammond heading the list with 3,252 at 60.04. Hutton was to top the 2,000 runs mark in nine seasons in his career, his best ever 3,429 in 1949. Cricket in the 1938 season and on the winter tour of South Africa in 1938/39 was overshadowed by fears of a European War. Just a month after the 364 innings at the Oval, Neville Chamberlain returned from Munich with an agreement with Hitler which, he said, gave us “peace in our time.” The respite was brief. Before the start of the 1939 season, when the West Indies were the visitors, German troops had conquered that part of Czechoslovakia that had not been surrendered to Germany under the Munich agreement. During that season it was not a question of would there be war but when. How hard it must have been to concentrate on cricket. In fact Germany invaded Poland, the action that triggered the Second World War, on 1 September, the day that Yorkshire completed the final day of their championship winning season against Sussex at Hove. Immediately thereafter the team drove north. Most of the players joined the armed forces in one capacity or another. * Hutton became a physical training instructor and in 1941 suffered a career threatening injury when his left arm was badly broken. After protracted and skilful surgery, for which Hutton was for ever grateful, he recovered but with his left arm one and a half inches shorter than the right. A chapter of the book describes the accident and Hutton’s hospitalisation in some detail and this no doubt gives (* There is a poignant story in Alan Hill’s ‘Chain of Spin Wizards’ in relation to this match. In the opening match of 1946, captain pulled on his blazer for the first time since that game at Hove, over six years earlier. He reached into the pocket and to his surprise found a small piece of paper with the match details upon it. After the scores, the last words were Verity 6-1-9-7. Ed)

14 Hutton’s story an extra dimension of human interest. But from the cricketing point of view, it is Hutton’s rehabilitation after so severe an injury and return to first-class cricket in 1946, still as England’s premier batsman, that is so noteworthy. Yorkshire won the championship again in 1946 and England the Test series against , though Hutton did little of note. The big test was to come in Australia in the winter of 1946/47 and Hutton relished a first visit and another chance to regain the Ashes. He was to be disappointed of course but his account of the tour, in places reading like a travelogue, suggests, not entirely convincingly, that he and his teammates nevertheless enjoyed every minute of it, on and off the field. It was not just a disappointment, England were well and truly whacked. There were of course excuses, England had bad luck with the weather, at Brisbane for example, with injuries, Hutton himself being laid low with tonsillitis at the end of the first day in the Final Test when 122 (an innings that raised his Test average to a more than respectable 52.12), and in Lindwall and Miller Australia had an opening attack the hostility of which England could not match. Ruefully, the tour came too soon for England after the disruptions and privations of the war. Hutton’s account of this series “under the southern cross” shows his unwillingness in the book to confront the controversies that emerge in any Test series. Contemporary newspaper accounts and subsequent histories and memoires deal with controversies a-plenty. These include ’s unimaginative captaincy and his aloofness from his colleagues, cliques within the party and puzzling team selections, and above all the standard of umpiring beginning with the disputed catch Bradman gave to Ikin in the First Test when he stood his ground claiming a bump ball and the (Australian of course at that time) duly concurred. Reams have been written about this non-catch but there is no mention of it in Hutton’s book or of much disputed umpiring decisions in subsequent Tests. Hutton would have no doubt retorted that he would leave such criticisms to the journalists (who accompanied the tour in some numbers). But to a contemporary reader the “everything in the garden is lovely” flavour of the book here and elsewhere is less than satisfying. It is the brief reference to the 1948 Ashes series already referred to that ends the book. The final words are “I’m off to South Africa” (for the 1948/49 tour). I enjoyed re-reading this book for this article and it did nothing to diminish my admiration for its author. It tells, however, a very one-dimensional story and for a more rounded account of the first half of Hutton’s cricket career one has to go elsewhere, say, to Gerald Howat’s Len Hutton, a Biography (1984).

A Typical Picture

And a Less Typical One

A lovely idea, many thanks to Martin. I wonder if other members would like to contribute along similar lines. John Arlott’s ‘Fred’ is surely one book ripe for reevaluation in the light of the subject’s own ‘As it Was’, and Chris W aters’ excellent biography. Ed.
